Bodog Blogger Series II kicks off October 28th
Oct 22, 2008By: smokkee Bodog announced its second Bodog Poker Blogger Tournament Series with almost t$600 added to the weekly prize pool and t$3000 added to the Final Tournament of Champions (TOC) on Thursday, December 18th. The qualifying tournament buy-in is only $10+1. Bodog will also add bounties on randomly selected players throughout the series. Well known professional player and author, Eric “Rizen” Lynch is scheduled to play the kickoff tournament Tuesday October 28th with a bounty placed on him.
The series is open to all poker bloggers worldwide. The Bodog Blogger Series II includes 15 qualifying tournaments that will run Tuesday and Thursday evenings from Tuesday, October 28th through Tuesday, December 16th, 2008 at 9:05pm ET. Qualifying tournaments allow you to win bonuses and earn points toward the Tournament Leader Board (TLB). The top 30% of the field in each nightly qualifying tournament earn points based on their finish. Each player’s top 8 scores will be aggregated to comprise a total point value that will be used to rank all participants on the Bodog Series II Tournament Leader Board. At the end of the scheduled qualifying tournaments during Bodog Blogger Series II, all players in the top 15 percentile (15%) as ranked on the TLB will be qualified for the Final Tournament of Champions to be held on Thursday, December 18th 2008.
Bodog is also offering a “Last Chance” Qualifier for players who’ve registered and played in at least three (3) qualifying tournaments during the series. The top 3 finishers in the “Last Chance” Qualifier will win their seat into the TOC.
Bodog has improved the structure for this series to match that of their weekly Sunday major tournament, the 100k Guaranteed. Players will receive 2500 starting chips with blind levels increasing every 15 minutes. The level of competition in the Bodog Blogger Series and structure make it a good training ground for Bodog’s 100k Guarantee which continues to produce a huge overlay. This Sunday’s 100k Guaranteed tournament had only 639 players ($100+9 buy-in) making for a $36,100 overlay. If you’re not playing Bodog’s 100k, you’re missing out on the best tournament value available in online poker.
